Types of Catalogs
There are two types of catalogs:- Master Catalogs: Specific to your tenant and contain all the products in your child catalogs that belong to them, which enables you to share products across all child catalogs.
- Catalogs: Specific to each of your sites or storefronts and only contain the products in them that you wish to sell in their associated storefronts.
